Serpents, skulls and macabre scenes of death were carved into stone about 1,000 years ago at Chichén Itzá, the largest and most impressive of the ancient cities on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Climb this temple, El Castillo (the Castle), for an amazing view of the ruins. The temple embodies the Mayan calendar: Its four flights of 91 steps plus one at the top equals 365 days of the year. You can visit this World Heritage Site on a day trip from Cozumel; consider going by plane to save time.
